Chapter 243 End of the semester

In Hagrid's cabin, the five men happily celebrated Buckbeak's freedom. This joyous mood continued until Ryan and the others returned to the castle.

As he stepped up the castle stairs, Harry thought of something and said the prophecy that Professor Strawney had heard during the exam. Ryan was a little surprised when he heard the prophecy that was no different from the original text. After all, now that Peter was sentenced to life in prison for Azkaban, how could he go to Voldemort again? Not to mention that Peter had a complete record of turning from a rat into a human when he was arrested. It is impossible for Azkaban not to prepare in this case.

But considering that there were so many Death Eaters back then, it would make sense that one or two slipped through the net trying to resurrect Voldemort. But in this way, it is impossible to catch criminals in advance to plug this loophole.

Thinking of this, Ryan shook his head. After all, it was useless to think about anything at this time. Besides, on the one hand, he is ready to face that dark age, and on the other hand, there are at least Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic in front of him. In this case, it is not his time for a third-year student to worry about it. So he decided to celebrate the end of the exam with everyone now. After all, what happened will only be known tomorrow. So there's no need to worry your friends too.

The next morning, Ryan came to the lake after breakfast and watched the giant squid dangling its tentacles lazily on the lake, waiting for the owl to deliver the day's newspaper.

You feel a little weird today. Hermione's voice came from behind, and she walked over to Ryan and sat beside him on the grass by the lake. Or I've noticed that since Harry said Professor Strawney's prophecy yesterday, you've been feeling preoccupied. Can you tell me what happened?

I have a bad feeling that Professor Strawney's predictions are mostly deceptive, but as far as I know these prophets occasionally make real predictions. And they are making real predictions. When they spoke, just like how Harry described Strawney yesterday, the tone was completely out of his own, his body seemed to lose control, and most importantly, they didn't remember what they said after they finished speaking.

I think you're just a little jittery. Hermione raised an eyebrow. After all, you have so much to learn lately, which might make you a little too anxious.

I really feel honored to be praised by you for how much I have learned recently. Ryan joked. I hope so too.

At this time, a brown barn owl flew towards Lane and dropped today's Daily Prophet, then stretched out its left leg with a small leather bag. Ryan took out five nats from his body and put them in the skin. After receiving the money, the owl flapped its wings and flew away.

Isn't there any important news? Hermione glanced at the front and second pages of the Daily Prophet. The front page is a rebuke of some countries for exporting crucibles to Britain of increasingly poor quality, which has even led to the injury of an important potion maker. The second page is the seventh time Mrs Zabini has been a widow, which sounds like a bit of a —

Ryan was reading the next few pages of the newspaper at this time, and suddenly he pointed to a palm-sized tofu in the corner of the seventh page and said. Look here, Peter Pedirou escaped from Azkaban, and the Ministry of Magic actively appeals to all wizards to report to the Aurors if they see him. The Ministry of Magic who provides valid information will give fifty Galleons as a reward.

What the hell is going on with the Ministry of Magic? Azkaban has run away two people a year. Hermione complained after reading the news. But this seems to be in line with Professor Strawney's prediction. But Professor Dumbledore is still there, we don't need to worry so much for the time being.

You are quite right,

But given the chaos of the last war. It is also necessary for us to prepare in advance. For example, strengthen combat practice or something. After all, if something goes wrong, wizards born in non-wizard families like us are most prone to accidents.

It shouldn't be that bad, Hermione said in disbelief. But you're right, some preparation is better than no preparation.

At noon, the two of them went to the auditorium for dinner with some concerns, but at the dining table they heard how Peter escaped. According to a third-year Gryffindor whose family works at the Ministry of Magic, the entire interior of Azkaban is guarded by Dementors, although the Ministry of Magic reminded them that Peter is an Animagus, but unfortunately those monsters Didn't notice this.

The only definite news is that it is now almost certain that Peter has left the UK, so the British Ministry of Magic just made an inconspicuous report in the newspapers with the mentality that more is worse than less.

Ah, these guys. Ryan put his hand on his forehead with a bit of depression. But this wasn't the only unpleasant thing today, because in the afternoon the students learned that Professor Lupin had resigned.

Although Professor Lupin is a good person, I can understand why he resigned. Hermione said while reading in the library in the afternoon. Perhaps because of her excellent performance in the Transfiguration exam, Professor McGonagall gave Ryan and Hermione a favor. Min wrote a note allowing them to borrow the book Dangerous Deformation in the library. Because this book is not allowed to be taken out of the library, the two of them can only use all their free time to read the book in the library during this period, and strive to finish the book before going home for the holiday.

Isn't it the werewolf problem? Ryan said in a low voice; Now there is a wolf venom potion that can at least ensure safety, so I don't think it's a big deal to find a werewolf as a professor.

I think so too, but most wizards don't think so. And we all guessed from clues that Lupin is a werewolf, and it is estimated that other students can also guess this fact. How could parents allow Lupin to be in this situation? Staying in Hogwarts Castle. And the shabby appearance of his clothes shows that he has been rejected many times at work because he is a werewolf, which also means that many people know that he is a werewolf, and this news cannot be kept hidden forever. Now he Resigning is just enough to avoid the difficulty of Headmaster Dumbledore, otherwise it will be worse if it is stabbed out. Hermione carefully analyzed the reasons for Lupin's resignation.

Lupin has been our best Defence Against the Dark Arts professor in the past three years, what a pity. Hermione finally concluded with some regret.

But this may be a good thing, after all, there is a curse on this position. Thinking about the two people in the past two years, it is also a good thing that Professor Lupin can retire from this position now. Ryan comforted.

When they were returning to the common room from supper, they ran into Harry, who told them he had gone to see Professor Lupin. Professor Lupin resigned voluntarily because he felt he was still a little dangerous in the school.

With Professor Lupin's resignation, word spread at Hogwarts that he was a werewolf, although many Gryffindor students expressed regret. And everyone is not optimistic about the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts next year.

On the last day of the semester, Ryan and the others finally finished watching Dangerous Deformation, and their grades came down that day. Ryan still got all O's.

Hermione is also an all O, but since Ryan has sorted out all his powers after mastering alchemy, this makes his score and Hermione in the practical exam wide open. So this year, he won the first place in the year like never before.

Among Ryan's acquaintances, Harry, Ron and Longbottom also passed all the exams, especially Longbottom who had never received an O in the herbal medicine class. So he went to each book club member at breakfast to express his gratitude.

Meanwhile, Gryffindor House has won the House Championship three years in a row thanks in large part to outstanding performances in Quidditch. That meant the end-of-term banquet was decorated in scarlet and gold, and Lane was enjoying himself on the last day of the Hogwarts school year.
